Cleansing composition

Abstract

The present invention is related to an aqueous cleansing composition for skin and keratin fibres especially human hair with excellent conditioning effects on skin and hair. The present inventors have surprisingly found out that an aqueous cleansing composition based on at least one foaming surfactant and comprising further at least one di alkyl ether and at least one high molecular weight polyethylene glycol cleanses and condition hair and skin excellently. The object of the present invention is a cleansing composition for skin and hair comprising at least one surfactant selected from anionic, non-ionic and amphoteric ones, at least one di alkyl ether of the general structure R 1 —O—R 2 wherein R 1 and R 2 are same or different saturated or unsaturated and branched or straight alkyl chain with 8 to 24 C atoms and at least one polyethyleneglycol according to the general structure H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OH wherein n is in the range of 800 to 160,000.
